And we wonder why people can't spell (another grammar rant)

Hen'nbiddies :

I love to collect street and business signs that have crazy grammar or illogical sayings. They can be so funny.
I especially like the sign that says "Slow Children" Don't parents mind that their children's diminished capacity is being announced to the whole world? Wouldn't you object if someone placed that sign in front of YOUR house where YOUR children waited for their schoolbus? hehehe

LOVE IT! LOL​

I just hope that in the distant future when so many churches are named St. Joes Church that everyone who reads the sign will have enough sense to know that there was only one of me.

When my family moved from southern central Kentucky (Hestand) to Indianapolis, I took a lot of teasing when I said y'all to these dumb Hooosiers. Once when I was about ten, I was visiting my grandmother in KY and was in the Baxters' front yard, Virginia said some sentence using y'all. I, being the smartypants city slicker, said, "You ain't supposed t say y'all."
Virginia looked at me and said, "Well, Joe, what are we supposed to say?"
Stumped for an answer, I replied, "You'uns." EDIT: The cackling laughter was mortifying.
I think they're still telling that story down there.
